A. C Zero is applied using the same method with which our other finishes are applied. Fabric is brought from our partners’ mills to our Kings Mountain, NC plant in a greige (raw) state where it is immersed in our proprietary C Zero formula. It is then run through a long oven where C Zero permanently bonds with the fibers.

Q: What flammability requirements does C Zero pass?

A: C Zero passes Cal 117, UFAC, and NFPA 260.

Q.What is the best way to clean C Zero?

A. Liquid spills are repelled for up to 10 minutes, making clean-up easy compared to untreated fabrics. It’s best to use a mild 1:10 soap-to-water mixture and non-abrasive scrubbing. Just like other fabrics, all soap residues must be washed from the surface to ensure the finish continues to perform.

Q.Are there cleaners to avoid with C Zero?

A. Yes. Solvents can damage the finish, so solvent-based cleaners, including fabric softeners and dry cleaning, should be avoided.

Q: Can I be allergic to C Zero?

A: No. Because our chemistry is permanently integrated into the fibers themselves, our chemistry will never wear off, but highly-allergic individuals may want to verify use with their doctor.

Q: Does C Zero emit VOCs or have added formaldehyde?

A: No. C Zero technology is third-party-certified as containing ultra-low or no VOCs. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can be emitted from products over time into the air, adversely affecting indoor air quality. C Zero technology also does not add formaldehyde to fabrics.

Q: Does C Zero contain PFOS/PFOA?

A: No. PFOS and PFOA are considered persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and C Zero’s fluorine-free chemistry avoids the use of these POPs.

Q: Where can I source C Zero?

A: Contract customers can source C Zero through one of our many distributors worldwide.
